Operation delayed

Hi 

Sorry to hear you have had a delay ! Things like this do crop up on the forum ! However one thing to remember the anaesthetist do a variety of different clinical list and will know how to address these issues ! They often take a few extra weeks to get things in a better place but they will know exactly how to manage it ! Are they offering treatment for it to stabilise it ? 

Take care ,

Hi Court

i am having treatment for the Graves’ disease and the atrial fibrillation but I have been told that the delay will not cause a problem with the cancer.

That was a big learning curve for me ! My mum had a few surgeries with quite big delays and it did not seem to concern her team at all . Then I realised they know what they can achieve and how much room for manoeuvre they had so we went with it . Everyone went ahead as planned ! 
Hope your feeling ok with the treatment !

Thank you Court, I am feeling tired from the treatment. Still trying hard to exercise and prepare for the operation. I just felt so down hearted after the delay. It’s my birthday soon so at least I will be able to enjoy that before surgery! 

Hi plato

I had a similar experience last year

I urgently needed a hemi colectomy  to remove a large ulcerated haemorraging caecal tumour

The first anaethetist said I wouldnt survive the surgery as I I have angina and lung disease.  I went to a major heart and lung centre where a different anaesthetic  team took charge

I went to  critical care unit after surgery but they got me safely through  the surgery following  an action plan by a senior anaesthetist 

Hope this helps. I had to wait a further month in which time I did lung exercises  to get me in better condition

Kind regards

Mary

Thank you Mary. 

Hope you have a wonderful birthday !

So hard when delays happen as people do prepare themselves for the timescales they were given . However I think there will be a bit more of that . My local hospital is starting to struggle as we still have contact tracing !

You take care and I look forward to hearing you are safely through the surgery and pressing onwards to recovery !

Take care ,
